Honestly, the clear blue digital ovulation tests have been the absolute best for us. They are on the more expensive side, but they are literally foolproof.

Yay. Helped me realize I always ovulated earlier than the “norm.” Very affordable and I got a pack that came with pregnancy tests as well

like

OP they vary between 28-34 days. The norm indicates ovulating on the 14th day but I would typically ovulate around day 10 ish. My periods have been a bit off since a MC earlier but without these strips I never would’ve known and never would’ve tried so early. Got a positive pregnancy test after using these for the first time after they let me know I was nearing ovulation.

If your cycles vary that much I think these are great because they’re so affordable and you can take one every few days leading up to your 14th day and then as the lines get darker every day (only if you don’t want to test every day however I’m sure you can afford to because they’re so affordable). I would write the date on all of mine so I could compare lines because sometimes the difference would be so faint/negligible

Yay! Always synced up to bbt and CM tracking

Yep I used them but would double up with clear blue ovulation sticks when it was most likely I was ovulating. Pregmate is ok but those lines sometimes are still difficult to read. The instant reader of the clear blue (and smiley faces) helped so much

like

Yep! Slight PCOS so sometimes Clear Blue would say I peaked but I had another real peak coming and the test locks you out. Loved pregmate + Premom app and actually seeing the darkness of the line day to day vs just the yes/no from digital.

Easy @ home ovulation test strips are the same price as pregmate, and I use them alongside their Premom app to digitally capture the line progression

like

Yes! Def helped when my cycle would fluctuate between 28-35 days (esp after going off bc). I’m pretty sure it helped us with our conception - def helped with timing and not worrying about when to have sex oe having too much sex haha.

like

Haha well, we’d get tired of multiple days in a row, and apparently you should conserve your sperm so it’s best to have sex like every other day. The everyday in a row was fun for a few months 😏 but harder to keep up when we were TTC for almost a year 😅

Pregmate strips are being slammed on What To Expect “trying to conceive” message board. Newer versions do not pick up hcg as well as easy @ home strips, per many users.

They work well! Super cheap… stock up!

Update: Just had my first positive ovulation test come back today! Was super pumped haha

Yeah it gets addicting!! Start tracking them on an app like Premom and you get obsessed! Good luck!

I did for a year but ended up up going with clear blue on my RE’s recommendation since it’s more precise

We’ve been TTC for 7 months now. I was 10 days late for my period, took a pregnancy test 3 different times in the last week and all negative.

But last night, I had the worst cramps and now have light bleeding, and some clots 😭... this whole process is such an emotional rollercoaster.. has anyone else had a similar experience? I think this could be an early termination but not sure.
